I ask you to respect me as one. That does not mean we have to agree, or we can not be at odds, but the trolling needs to stop. It just does not need to happen on this site. If we can not come here and have a good time and respect each other, where can we go? Come on man! I am not trolling. I was/am sincere. Like I said, I like to play hardball. Look, this forum is set up for anonymous participation, which is a deliberate way of promoting discussions that consist of what one really thinks. Unlike face-to-face discussions or social situations, there are no constraints on expresssing one's real opinion. Granted, many people are prone to abusing that freedom in both substance or style - and being an arrogant, bitter old man - that sometimes includes me. But a forum that can accomodates honest thought - more or less without restrictions - is a great place IMO. It's entertaining - not to mention therapeutic. To me, that's a "good time". Even if the exchanges get sharp. Maybe especially when the exchanges get sharp. Hard ball. Full contact. I respect everyone here as an Auburn fan. In fact, I am often dismayed about the rancor that is often exhibited between Auburn fans talking about sports in the sports forums! Football opinons (for example) - not matter how bad - don't merit personal insults. To me, they seem out of place to me in that forum. But this is the political forum. And like it or not, religion is a subset of politics. I respect other's right to believe whatever, but on this forum, I don't feel constrained in saying what I think about it. Ridicule comes with ridiculous arguments. Again, I am sorry you took offense at my style, but it was "within the lines" on this forum IMO, but that's for the moderators to determine in the end.

lost 452 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Let's go back to liturgical worship. Names the Christian churches that use it. Leave out the baptists, pentecostals, non denomonational, and such.. You will have to go to those now that are accepting homosexuality and such-- those christian ( the one i said are not truly Christian ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither did the early Church. In fact you just condemned the God you serve for nowhere in the Bible does it attack any slavery, In fact it was dominant in every society and never was addressed or taken to task. I think you need to separate your liberal party ideas from your supposed Christianity. Are you seriously defending slavery? Are you characterising opposition to slavery as a "liberal party idea"?
